in the summer time

i was able to get out of bed today for half an hour…

i felt like you do when you get out of a swimming pool…

as i hobbled about the house i stepped into a shadow…

my mind stopped and began to ponder, is what the door to death is like?

after everyone i have lost i wondered if they simply stepped out of this world into the next as if they had stepped into a shadow…

terror, fear, confusion and fascination mingled like smoke on the wind…

i dont know why i cant get past all the loss…

perhaps that is a scar that will never heal…

the old wounds that no longer bleed and yet persist…

Yay!  You were able to get out of bed today!  That’s fantastic!  I believe that the minute we take our last breath, we transition over into a new reality, a new life so to speak.  I believe life goes on for eternity.  As far as your grief due to the loss of those you love and miss, it will always be with you.  It will never leave.  You will just learn to live with it, to walk side by side with it.  Hugs.
